Walsingham, just two miles down the road has been a place of pilgrimage from before the Normans arrived. Its abbey and little streets, crowded with old houses is well worth a wander at any time, but without a doubt February is Walsingham's month. Literally carpets of snowdrops, mingled with aconites have naturalised throughout the Abbey woodland and along the banks of the River Stifkey which runs through the Abbey grounds. Seeing the first flowers of spring in such quantity this is a woodland walk that stays with you for years.
The snowdrop walk Walsingham makes a great early spring cottage holiday at Cottage Farm Barns -
